Ministry confirms wave of persecution in Iran

Iran (MNN)-Voice of the Martyrs' Todd Nettleton confirms a wave of national persecution of Iranian believers. "Many other Christians in several different parts of the country have been detained by police, interrogated and released. The interesting thing about this is it seems very widespread across different Christian groups in Iran, so it seems like a very concerted effort to put pressure on the church in Iran." According to VOM sources, this new action is coming against Christians who are meeting to worship God in the privacy of their homes. Most governors are denying there is any form of discrimination in their provinces, but Nettleton says, "We do know that the church is growing at an incredible rate in Iran. Christians are being very bold in their witness. They're witnessing in public parks, and they are doing some great work to get the Gospel out. The result of that is that the church is growing; unfortunately, it seems to have gotten the attention of the government as well."
